You could see the potential last year

But his decision-making was just awful. He’s making very few bad decisions this year. Never seen a player improve that much. Of course, a lot of of it is having better players around him. Part of that is the Neo effect, stopping him is number one priority on all of the scouting reports. It also seems like Hammond could play 40 minutes every day. He never seems to be get tired. Really a remarkable athlete. And he’s been a great weapon late in games. Maybe it’s the new era of the little guy who can get anywhere he wants on the floor. Surprised that teams with big guards don’t try to bully him more in the post. Anyway, he’s a great success story! And seems like a great kid as well.

Hammond in the starting lineup has clearly changed our performance

The funny thing is there were some posts about Hammond that hammered him

In last 12 games, Hammond has averaged 15 points per game.

I think you'll see Lawal instead of Gurdak more going forward...

i dont care as long as he is on the floor

He absolutely deserves starter minutes and I am fine with us starting him

I didn’t think the 1st half was nearly as bad as vs Wake, Cuse got lucky

Hansberry is a natural 4. Now if you're saying to play two 4s...
EDGEMAN 01/23/26 07:53 AM ET
Hansberry, Lawal, and Neo are all 6’9, IMO our best lineup doesn’t have a 5**

Agree 100%. He has grown so much in one year. **
